inconstraint/unconstrained: paper, steel, print and stitch

While wandering the ancient streets of Sevilla, Spain searching for the Museum of Flamenco and "duende"- the mysterious, soulful passion of Flamenco, I took a photograph of the cobbled streets and crumbling walls. The image told a story beyond the circles and squares.I began working with two imposed constraints: black and white and only use circles and squares to distill stories of vulnerability and strength into simple form. The work became "unconstrained" as I composited subsequent [non] circles and [non] squares with images from my mind, scanned cloth, my home, and world travels. The series continues with discovery of new materials, dimensions and metaphors, a dash of color and endless possibility of circles and simplicity.
